Here’s a delicious strawberry kiwi smoothie that will help keep you hydrated on a hot day. It’s loved by kids and adults alike, and it’s ready in just 5 minutes!
Most people will agree that strawberries and kiwis are a winning combination, and this strawberry kiwi smoothie really leans into that. It’s bright, fruity, and naturally sweet, and I started making it when I was craving a slightly sweeter take on my kiwi smoothie with spinach. The strawberries mellow the kiwi just enough while keeping everything fresh and vibrant.
This is a smoothie I make often—sometimes as an after-school snack for my daughter and her friends, other times as a quick breakfast when we’re heading out the door. It’s simple, reliable, and easy to sip.
I keep the ingredient list intentionally short, which makes it easy to tweak. Use honey if you like things a little sweeter, swap water for milk for extra creaminess, or adjust the fruit depending on what you have on hand. Just be sure at least one of the fruits is frozen so the smoothie stays cold, thick, and perfectly sip-able.
Strawberry kiwi smoothie add-ins
This strawberry banana kiwi smoothie recipe is simple which gives you lots of room to add ingredients to suit your tastes. Here are some ideas for easy add-ins:
- Protein powder: Vanilla tastes great, but unflavored works well, too.
- Nut butter: A tablespoon or two of nut butter will make it even more filling. Almond butter, cashew butter, and even peanut butter taste great.
- Chia seeds or hemp seeds: These little seeds will thicken your smoothie and, like nut butters, make it more filling.
- Leafy greens: You can never go wrong with leafy greens like a handful of spinach or kale. Keep in mind it will change the color of this smoothie.
Recipe FAQs
Is this smoothie sweet?
Kiwis tend to be a bit tart, but if your bananas and strawberries are ripe and sweet, they will balance the kiwi’s tart flavor. We recommend making the smoothie without the honey, tasting it, and adding honey to taste.
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
Like all smoothies, they’re best enjoyed right away. You can easily make this one in the morning and take it to go. It’ll keep at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
Can you freeze kiwis for smoothies?
Yep! To freeze kiwis, remove the skin and then slice or chop them. Lay them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer, then pop them into your freezer. Once they’re frozen, transfer them to a sealed container, and they’ll keep in your freezer for up to 3 months!

I halved the recipe and then used 1 cup of fermented coconut milk cause I can’t have dairy, and it was the most amazing smoothie ever. I was looking for a combination to use up my kiwi fruit..this is a keeper.
What a delicious and refreshing drink! I had some leftovers and turned them into popsicles.
Hi. I was just wondering.what size smoothie all these smoothie recipes are for? I don’t wanna put to much or to little, so what size blend cup do you use? 16oz, 18oz, 24oz?
We have an old Vitamix that has an 8 cup capacity.
